Panda Security launches TotalScan Pro

TotalScan Pro is an online antivirus that detects and disinfects more than 1,800,000 viruses, spyware and other threats and is updated with more than 2,500 new examples every day.

TotalScan Pro also detects unknown threats thanks to TruPrevent intelligent technologies.

The enormous detection capacity of Panda TotalScan Pro means it can even detect and eliminate threats that can slip past antiviruses on computers.

According to a study carried out by Panda Security, more than 18 per cent of computers with an antivirus are infected by some kind of threat.

TotalScan Pro is an excellent tool to use as a second opinion, periodically checking if there are viruses on a system.

This new antivirus from Panda Security is compatible with any other security products that users have on computers.

Also, it is an ideal tool to use before shopping or banking online.

Thanks to the scan carried out by TotalScan Pro, users can make sure that there are no keylogger Trojans on their computers, or any other active threats waiting to steal confidential data.

TotalScan Pro scans all system devices, hard disks, compressed files and all email, rapidly seeking out all threats hidden on users' computers.

TotalScan Pro lets users perform three types of scans: - Quick (scanning critical sectors of the PC), - Full (scanning all the PC) - Custom (scanning selected areas).

TotalScan Pro uses the most effective technologies for detecting both known and unknown rootkits.

Rootkits are programs designed to hide files, processes or registry entries.

Although they are not malicious in themselves, cyber-criminals frequently use them to hide malicious code.

In order to detect active rootkits on computers, TotalScan Pro runs checks on all running processes and compares them with a knowledge base generated by Panda Security, which is hosted in a network of data centers.

In this way, any suspicious process is classified as malicious or not malicious.

This tool can also pinpoint rootkits installed on the computer but not running at the time.

TotalScan Pro is compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

In the case of Firefox a specific plug-in is used to achieve optimum performance.

New security focus TotalScan Pro uses a new 'collective intelligence' approach.

This approach includes automated processing of large quantities of information about programs and files and real-time communication with users' computers.

This way, the malware scanning and detection is performed on Panda Security's servers, not on the system itself.

Thanks to this new approach, TotalScan Pro is capable of detecting even malware samples that slipped past other antivirus solutions, and are active carrying out malicious actions on the computer.

TotalScan Pro is available for GBP12.49 with one year's services from the Panda Security online store.
